So we ended up picking her up a little while later. We played for a bit then she got hungry, so we fed her. Then it was nap time. That's where the pic come in. After her nap we played more. We had her all afternoon. And loved it.

Kealani Taufa
So this is our friends baby. We were walking home the other day, had just finished with an activity with the classes John teaches when we saw Sione, the dad of this adorable little girl. We chatted a minute and then when John want me to steal the baby. He didn't even have her with him. John just really wanted to play with her.

The November happenings.
Alright, just to let everyone know, I found out that I DO have cyst. But I don't have poly cystic ovaries. I had to track down some nurses to get that information, but I am glad that I finally have some answers.
We kind of celebrated Johns birthday early. We went to town and did some shopping. He really wanted to get some rugby gear. So we got him some cleats, shorts (spandex and shorts for over), longs socks. Oh and we got him some cologne. Then we went to Sam's Club and did some major shopping, we had like no food at home. That was a fun day.
Lets see since then we have had a few fun things going on. We had foodfest. That is where all the clubs make food from their home country and sell it, so that they can make money for activities through-out the semester. Of course John was helping with the Samoan club. They had bbq chicken, banana's, rice, samoan sasuages, and they made hot koko. I went around and tried a few of the other clubs food. There was some Arabian food, (fried bread and some other stuff that I didn't like). I wanted to get some of the Tahitian food, because they make crepes that are so good. But when I went around they were all out. Sad I don't even remember all that I ate. One of our friends went to the Filipino club and got some Lumpia. I don't even know how to describe what these are. I tried one, and it was good. But I was so full from the other foods, that I couldn't eat more. I didn't get to see John much that night because he was running around doing to many things for the club.
We've gone to watch the men's basketball team play. The won, and that was a good game. They have a tradition that when the team scores over a hundred points that they serve ice cream. So it was really fun and the crowd actually gets more excited about the ice cream than the game itself. I couldn't help but think back to when I first got a job here at school. It was doing the men's basketball teams wash. It was so stinky. I kept laughing about that when we were watching the game.
John and I decorated our Christmas tree. Well it actually was a tree that we inherited from his cousin that moved away from here. But still it a big tree and they left us all their ornaments and everything. It's a big upgrade from our tree last year. Which was made from wrapping paper and taped to the wall. Pretty creative but pretty lame. We still are going to hang up more lights but haven't yet. I have people telling me that it is too early to decorate. But honestly I don't care. I am going to have fun celebrating Christmas here in Hawaii.
I think that is about it as far as fun things. But it was a pretty good update. I will try to post more pics. I have been trying to take more with my phone, since I typically have it with me.

Mean prank....
Oh I was so mean to my husband to day. I pulled a really mean prank on him. I was at work, and happen to check my phone and I see a text from my sister-in-law (Heather). It was of her ultrasound. She is due in May and went in today and was able to see the baby. She apparently took a picture of it on her phone and sent it around to my family. In the text I notice that she sent it to just the girls. So I knew that John hadn't gotten it. I had this brilliant idea that I would forward it on to him and see what he says.
Oh that was a horrible idea. He got soooooooooooooo excited, that I felt so bad afterwards having to tell him that it was Heathers, and not mine at all. Am I so horrible for teasing my husband. I know we want kids, and it doesn't seem to be in our cards right now. I know we will have them though, and we are both anxious to have them. What do you think? Was that a mean prank??

AHHHH!
Okay so that last three months I have been having my period every two weeks. Yeah not so fun at all. I have been hating it. So today I went to the doctor today at the health center, and they wanted to do tests. First the nurse pokes my finger to test my hemoglobin levels. Those were a little bit low, makes sense because I have been losing so much blood. Then she decided to take more blood to run more tests. She pokes one arm, and the vein was not wanting to work. She moves the needle around, and yeah still nothing. Funny enough she pulls the needle out and then the vein opens up and starts bleeding, IRONIC. So then she moves on to the next arm. That one worked really well. After that the doctor tells me that he wants me to go to the hospital so that they can do an ultra sound. He thinks that I might have poly-cystic ovaries. OH JOY. Not at all what I wanted to hear. But I guess better to find out now rather than later. So my sweet husband took me to the hospital so that they could do the ultra sound. I felt bad because he had to miss one of his classes so that he could go with me. He was so funny, he felt like he couldn't be there when she was doing it. He wanted to leave the room. But I convinced him to stay and be with me. I won't have the results until tomorrow. I'm hoping that they are wrong.. but at the same time I am hoping that they are right, because I just want to know what is going on with me.
Well after all that fun, John and I decided to go to Ted's Bakery. They have great food. They have lots of pastries. But John and I like to actually go and eat lunch there. So I got a BBQ chicken sandwich and John got a mixed plate that had three different meats on it. My husband loves meat!! And as we are about to finish ordering, John decides to get a pie too. So we got a peanut butter pie. I am glad he did, it is so good. It kind of made up for my day having to go and get all those fun test done. The rest of our night went on pretty normal. He had work/homework. And I had to go to work at the temple. I put my name on the prayer roll. Is that bad to put your own name down? I hope not, I've done it a few times. Don't worry, I have put several of your names down too. I am constantly doing that.
When I got home from work, after all afternoon of not having my mind at ease, I had John give me a blessing. It was so great to have him do that. I love having the priesthood in my home. I love hearing my husband use his priesthood. It was a neat blessing, and actually as soon as he was done I felt much better. I know that Heavenly Father is with me ever step of the way. And I know that no matter what things will be okay. I know that kids are in our future. I am not sure when but I do know that I will have them.
We did end up sharing half the pie with some friends.

ALOHA!
I feel so bad. I haven't written forever. I just get so caught up in my everyday things, and sometimes forget to write on here. I honestly feel like I don't have much to write about on here. We live kind of boring lives over here. I rarely go to the beach, (I don't have time). We are both doing great. School, work and church calling, keep John really busy. He does well with it all. He loves his classes right now. He is taking 4 major classes, in IT. I don't understand any of it, but he has me help him study sometimes, so I get to learn it too. He too works 2 part time jobs, he works as a tutor for the Samoan Language classes, and then he works over at PCC in the shops like I used to. He actually has started to work selling the jewelry a little. It's kind of funny, my old boss has him working with her, she likes him a lot. He is very outgoing like and good with the people, much like my brothers.
I thought that conference was wonderful. I was actually today re-listening to some of the talks. There were several that I felt were "just for me". Things that I really needed to hear. We had a few friends over on Sunday morning, so I had to really re-listen to those one. I was trying to follow in mom's tradition in making breakfast. The friends were supposed to come and help, but they showed up late, and so I ended up making most of it myself. It was good, made pancakes, bacon, eggs, sausage (which were actually hotdogs). I think there was more but I honestly can't remember what it was. But either way the food was really good.
Sorry all I really don't know what to write about on here. I tell you we are pretty boring. I think from now on I should have you all ask questions on what you want to know then I would actually know what you want to hear about. I'll try to remember to update better. We currently have misplaced our camera so I am sorry that I don't have any pictures. I will see if I can try to find it and then TAKE more pictures. I am really bad at taking pictures. I always will take the camera with us but then when it comes to taking pictures I always forget. One day I will get better.
For now Later!!

Harry Potter!!!
So John and I just got home from watching Harry Potter. I loved the movie. I thought that it was so good. I really enjoyed it. I just wish that I had refreshed on the books or movies, so that I could have remembered the whole story line. I know that I knew/remembered enough that I knew what was going on. I feel bad because I don't think John has read or watched the other movies so I don't think that this movie was all that fun to him. But he was a good sport and went with me because he knew that I really wanted to go.
Lets see what else had happened since the last post that I had written. The temple has been closed for cleaning so I have had more time at home. It was a nice break. I am excited for it to open again so I can start working more. I went to the allergist again and he had to write me a prescription for an AC unit in our apartment. I have had really bad eczema and he thinks that it will help. Just got it on Friday and so far I like it. The only problem is that today they were working on the power here in the married housing, so the power was off all day long. And not until about a couple of hours ago did they turn it back on. Its starting to feel good in here. Our apartment is so small that it doesn't take much to cool it off.
John starts school again this next week. I think he had a good summer break (6weeks). I hope he is ready to start school, and work so hard. He only has about a year left and I really can't wait to get done and have both of us completely done with school. I am not sure what is in store for us when we are done here, but having the school part done will be so nice.

June... What??
So the month of May went so quick. I feel like I was sick the whole month. Lost of different things going on. First I John got a cold.. then I got the cold.. then we both got over it and then I got a bladder infection. Then John got the cold again.. and then I caught the cold again. Oh gosh it was not fun. Then we both got over our colds, and then I had tooth problems. I had an abscess and had to have a root canal. Honestly it has been a month long of illnesses. We are both currently healthy and that is a nice thing.
School has ended for John and so now it is officially summer break. Which means he is working more. He even wants to pick up a 3rd job.. I don't know why. We'll see what happens. Work for me has been good. Always something going on. I love working in the temple.
My niece got baptized yesterday. I am so proud of her. I can't believe that she is that old. But I know that she is making the correct choice. I know that she will be a great leader for her younger siblings and younger cousins. I wish that I could have been there. I missed everyone.
I hope all is going well. It has been raining a lot here still. Lots of thunder going on. It's been fun to listen to, as long as I don't get stuck walking in it. (which has happened a few times).
